On StageLa Chambre renversÃ©e (The upside-down bedroom)La Chambre RenversÃ©e is inspired by the fairytale Barbe Bleue (Bluebeard) written by Charles Perrault in the late seventeenth century. In this cautionary tale, the seventh wife of Bluebeard opens a forbidden door, only to discover that Bluebeard has murdered his six previous wives and hidden them away behind that door...Although Bluebeard never makes a physical appearance into the piece, he enacts a visible pressure onto the other characters. The space, the sounds, the movements, the lights and the shadow continuously betray his presence, though he never steps a foot onto the stage.Three hanging lights are fully integrated into the choreography and the dramaturgy of La Chambre RenversÃ©e , giving them a role as important as the dancers. The lights embody Bluebeard and what it represents: the forbidden place, the hidden truth, the rule we can't understant ...The penitence becomes suffering, The transgression becomes knowledge, The persecution becomes rebellion.Choreography: Eva Perrotta Choreography Assistant: Sophie BortolussiMusic: Mugam Sayagi by Franghiz AliZadeh Costume design: Sophie Bortolussi Dancers: Amelie Benard / Sophie Bortolussi / Holly Colino / Emi Komatsuzaki / Pauline Legras/ Kristina Skovby / Hiroko YanagawaLength: 27 minutesPremiere: March 2008 Nu Dance Theater 298 Eckford Street #2F Brooklyn, NY 11222 +1 646 255 5534 info_nudancetheater.comHomeContactMIssionEva PerrottaSophie BortolussiPerformersCollaboratorsSite SpecificOn stageVideoInto Me SeeDorian CSi Seulement SiHinterlandHinterland VideoInto Me See VideoDay dream videoUnfolded confessionUnfolded confession-copy1CrowdedElle dEllesConciliabuleForgotten MinePromenades SoporifiquesDay DreamPlaying nowPastDonateSponsorsWatch seeGreat Deal
